    Try flashing with a different image or a previous one to the one you are using. Try a flash drive with less capacity.

    Have a look at this post .......... http://www.world-of-satellite.com/sh...-SF4008-by-USB and follow.

    Also some people forget the SF4008 usb flash process, namely:-
    1) Switch off the device (without power) at the mains switch.
    2) Insert the USB stick into the USB port on the front.
    3) Switch the appliance on at the mains switch.
    4) Press the front power button.

    Does your PC/router show any IP address for the box? If so is there any internet access to the box?

    If the receiver is on a lan, then see if there is an IP address and try a login connect with Putty.
    If you get there issue an Init 4 and then enigma2
    The box is probably not to that stage but worth trying

    I had same problem after updating online a few days ago and it ended up that the "update bin" file was missing from my back up image on my memory stick.
